Distant Lonely Melodies

a lonely whistle blows
a distant space it marks.
from the point of being
and seeing it blows
to see how deep
the pain of its grind can drive…
it blows ever lonely
and the more it blows
the further its sounds deepen
those old scars beneath my heart,
where there does grind a place
forever marked by distant melodies
of lonesome lonely whistle blows.
